If you own a Google Android-compatible smartphone, then you will probably want some games to play on it to pass the time on long journeys etc. You can get several games for free from the Android Market, and here are a few to look out for: Bubblewrap - If you ever get a hankering for popping some bubblewrap, but you just cannot find any lying about, why not download this ultra-realistic bubblewrap simulator, which turns your phone into a piece of it!
It even vibrates when you pop, giving you the tactile sensation that you require for a truly satisfactory bubblewrap experience. CB Blackjack - The classic card game gets the smartphone treatment with this classy version by Hudson Soft.
It can be played with the touchscreen or the trackball, and is easy to control with either device. CB Klondike - The best version of the old PC classic, Solitaire, yet released for the Android, the only disappointment being that the drag and drop problems that are present with all touch screen devices make this a bit tricky to play. CB Reversi - The classic boardgame Othello is given a classy makeover in this Android adaptation.
It can be played in one or two player mode, and also features a rather nifty helper mode, which tells you all the switches you are able to make at any given time. Coloroid - In this superb version of the old computer classic Virus, your aim is to turn the whole screen a certain colour, by selecting the next colour to adsorb to your growing coloured mass from a list at the side of the screen.
This is not only one of the best touchscreen games currently available, it is one of the best games full stop, and is well worth a download. Divide and Conquer! - Trap those horrible bouncing balls in as small a space as possible by drawing a prison of lines around them with the touch screen controller. The touch screen control can be a little frustrating at first, but you can get used to it.
